A Ticket To Somewhere

She took the train, every day never rushing

People lost, never rest, always chasing

Always wondering where all the souls go

All the voices, busy feet pounding

No one knew her name

But you might've heard her singing

Yeah yeah yeah

She said

Meet me at the subway

I've got you a ticket

Let's go somewhere

Where the sun kisses the ocean

Meet me at the subway

I've got you a ticket

Let's go somewhere

Where no one stops you from rising

Traffic lights, she stops at the doorway

Watching passengers in a di role play

Sees black shadows, hiding and redeeming

Calling her name, someone playing hide and seek

Dem Gates are open, crowd is rolling

Straight to nowhere, street is burning

No one knows her name

Though you might have heard her singing

Yeah yeah yeah

She said

Meet me at the subway

I got you a ticket

Let's go somewhere

Where the sun kisses the ocean

Meet me at the subway

I got you a ticket

Let's go somewhere

Where no one stops you from rising

Meet me at the subway

I got you a ticket

Let's go somewhere

Where no one stops you from rising

Meet me at the subway

I got you a ticket

Let's go somewhere

Where no one stops you from rising

I got you a ticket

She crosses oceans

Like Mami Wata

If she starts to run

Ain't nobody stop her

Her voice echoes from seas to Congo

Daughters and sons

Afroclandestino

She dances the rumba

She dances Azonto

She knows she loves Makossa

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mirta

Ella viene del Congo

Otros del Sudán

Somos África entera

La vamos a unificar

Nasombi tike, tokende

Destination eyebani te

Yo te lo canto negra,

Pa' que vengas a guarachar

Ata okeyi nakolanda

Okozala yo moko tse

Abandonas tu isla,

En pos de la Libertad

Yaka tokende mosika

Okozala yomoko tse

Afroclandestino ye

Yeyeyeyeyeyeye

Meet me at the subway

I got you a ticket

Let's go somewhere

Where the sun kisses the ocean

I got you a ticket
